    I've one you can have for nada if you want it's sitting in the shed the last year or 2 never been used.
    If that was directed at me - many thanks for the offer!

    TBH I'm probably kidding myself that I won't want something a bit higher spec that hooks up with Strava very soon. If I get a low-cost one I'll never get the green light to get a fancier one on the Household Black Ops budget. :P

    You won't be long about wanting to upgrade alright but if you want one of those bike computers fire me over you address and I'll pop it in the post when I dig it out. :)

    Alternatively I know someone selling a barely used Garmin 200 for €65 + p&p *bargain alerts so I'll say no more.

    i'm assuming dolomiti padding is good

    I have no idea. Never heard of it! I assume they'd like us to think so, though, hence why they make a point of mentioning it. Dolomiti would apparently like us to think so too...

    Is the Aldi bike computer any good? Seems very cheap!
    https://www.aldi.ie/en/specialbuys/sun-28-june/products-detail-page/ps/p/wireless-bike-computer-1/

    Dunno, don't have one, and it's not on sale -- yet. Maybe they sold a similar one previously, I'm not sure.

    I have a very similarly specced Lidl one (big spender, here) that was a very similar sort of price. Seems to be getting a bit flaky in its old age, and it's a bit scratched, hence my thought to replace it. (Whether the Aldi one is more or less flaky remains to be seen, of course.)

    Obviously it's very basic compared to the GPS ones. The "calorie" and "fat burn" readings seem pretty useless -- must be utterly meaningless without any height or gradient data! On my Lidl one I 'include those out' of the normal configuration of displays it cycles though. But it does time, distance, and speed OK, and all the obvious permutations of those... what more does one need? Well, this side of something that does map data or Strava uploads...

    Recommended. I only bought one off the Germans for a then-bargain €130 a couple of weeks ago. They're a bit light on luxuries though (no bag, extra pads etc.)
    Still, nice lid

    Whoops my mouse slipped. Will be here on Monday. Damn you bargain alerts.

    Kask Mojito Road Helmet in selection of colours and sizes €99.99 from alltricks.com

    Tempted to pull the trigger on one of these. Have had my eye on a Kask lid for sometime now and seems like a very good price. Does anyone know if there is a crash replacement policy with this?

    Are you sure about that, I have only been able to find info on crash replacement if purchased in the UK or Ireland. Not from France. I have ordered anyway but would be nice to know.

    And did you purchase in the UK or Ireland?

    EDIT: Without clogging up too much of this thread with crash replacement I was correct by the looks of it.

    "To participate in the scheme you must have purchased your helmet within the last three years from one of our UK or Irish Retailers and be a resident in the UK or Ireland."

    Thanks but currently out of stock, I think it might be because they have a 10% discount on at the minute, but that could be the cynic in me :)

    I just picked up a Crivit Heart Rate Monitor for €10 (50% off) in Lidl, Coolock.

    Comes with a handbar bracket (I use one on one of my bikes, its great).

    I can upload some photos if anyone wants to see it, but for €10 its well worth a punt.

    I just got one there in Aldi (Rathmines).

    For the price of 6 odd euro I think it's well worth it. Took me a while to set up and install (the sensor needs to be <2mm from the thingy on the spoke).

    Also picked out some cycling shorts & gloves for less than 20euro. Bargain!

    Kask Mojito arrived today from All Tricks.

    Was worried it was going to be too big having ordered a large but fits very nicely. Lovely leather strap as well.

    True about the lack of extras though just the helmet and a cardboard box. Don't know what to expect though it is a helmet at the end of the day. Once it keeps me safe and cool enough Im happy.

    Nice ratchet fitting system on the back and a secure feeling even without the strap closed.

    No it was 288. Rose product of the day, price was clearly marked counting down for 24 hours until 11 o clock. It has now gone up to it's previous price.

    On past experience it will probably be back down to the lower price in the next week or so.
